Mayhap

It may happen

         Somewhere far into the future.

         Who can know?

         Who can see what miracle of happenstance

         Might cause two paths to intersect?

         Not you…

                        And certainly not me.

 

It may happen.

         Lives can crumble in the jumble

         Ending up so tragically.

         Basic instinct of survival

         Kicking into overdrive will

         Still the pain…

                  Compensate to some degree.

 

What may happen?

         No one knows.

         Mysteries of life and living

         Vex our days, haunt the night.

         Keeping caution as our guide

         Makes us vigilant and wary

         Of the dangers.

         Keeps us reaching for the light.
